'A B A C' Patterns In 3/4

This lesson expands on our previous level 1 phrases involving the addition of a C section to 4/4 Patterns and here you will be learning patterns played in 3/4. At the bottom of the page you will find a collection of links to lessons you may find useful when learning these parts.

As with the previous lesson, both the B and C parts are going to be fills, but you are going to approach the two different fills in different ways. The 'B' is now going to be a subtle fill which can either be just a variation on the groove or a Short Fill. The 'A' will be a groove as usual.

Listed below are several examples of this structure.
